A customer in the medical services industry is having performance issues with the database that
maintains patient records. Recently the hospital expanded the SAN and added the fibre channel
directors in a core-edge topology which included moving the server from the core to the edge.
After determining the TCP/IP network is functioning correctly with no over-utilization of network
resources, the system administrator is attempting to determine what possible causes there are for
the degradation. What is a possible cause of the performance problem?

A.
link over-subscription

B.
spindle latency on the internal boot disks

C.
contention between the FC packets and the SCSI-3 encoded TCP/IP packets on the FCIP link

D.
over-subscription of the ISL’s between the edge Fibre Channel switches and the TCP/IP
switches
